Immunizations & Vaccinations

Tuberculosis test and vaccine requirements

All Indiana University students are required by state law to present proof of vaccination against various diseases. You should submit the form in One.IU before you begin classes. You won't be able to register for your second semester until you've done so.

Tuberculosis test requirement for international students

State law requires all international students to be tested by a U.S. doctor for tuberculosis (TB). We will try to make it as simple for you as possible.

You will need to have a TB blood test done at the IU Health Center shortly after your arrival. You will not be able to register for your second semester classes until you complete it. The test (which costs $100) and any additional follow-up testing can be billed to your bursar account. This cost can be reimbursed for students who enroll in the IU health insurance plan. Other insurance plans may also cover it.

Please do not bring TB documentation from outside of the United States; it will not be accepted.

Information for students under the age of 18

If you will be under the age of 18 when you arrive on campus, you have to have a completed Consent for Medical Treatment of a Minor form in order to have your TB blood test. You need to print the form, have your parent or guardian complete it, and then mail or fax it to the address or fax number on the form.
